December 30, 2025, Tehran, Iran: Pro-government supporters participate in a rally in Tehran, while protesters demonstrate against the poor economic conditions in the city. Some shopkeepers closed their stores in response to ongoing hardships and fluctuations in the national currency. The value of the Iranian rial has drastically decreased, with the US dollar trading at approximately 1.42 million rials, up from 820,000 rials a year ago, and the euro nearing 1.7 million rials. This economic crisis is further exacerbated by tensions with Israel and the US, along with sanctions imposed by the US and the EU.
